Clickable, photodegradable hydrogels to dynamically modulate valvular interstitial cell phenotype.
Biophysical cues are widely recognized to influence cell phenotype. While this evidence was established using static substrates, there is growing interest in creating stimulus-responsive biomaterials that better recapitulate the dynamic extracellular matrix. Here, a clickable, photodegradable hydrogel substrate that allows the user to precisely control substrate elasticity and topography in sit...
متن کاملFibroblast Phenotype within Concentrated Collagen Hydrogels
Introduction Normal collagen hydrogels (NCH), developed by Bell and co-workers, associated with sheets of keratinocytes are already used as skin temporary coverage (Apligraf ®). Nevertheless, NCH have several drawbacks such as extensive collagen hydrogel contraction, inhibition of cell growth and poor mechanical properties. In addition, cell death by apoptosis is observed. Because of their char...

متن کاملAssessing Cellular Response to Functionalized α-Helical Peptide Hydrogels
α-Helical peptide hydrogels are decorated with a cell-binding peptide motif (RGDS), which is shown to promote adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation of PC12 cells. Gel structure and integrity are maintained after functionalization. This opens possibilities for the bottom-up design and engineering of complex functional scaffolds for 2D and 3D cell cultures.
متن کاملBio-responsive polymer hydrogels homeostatically regulate blood coagulation
Bio-responsive polymer architectures can empower medical therapies by engaging molecular feedback-response mechanisms resembling the homeostatic adaptation of living tissues to varying environmental constraints. Here we show that a blood coagulation-responsive hydrogel system can deliver heparin in amounts triggered by the environmental levels of thrombin, the key enzyme of the coagulation casc...
